Distress Signal... Again

[1] - Audio

Mayday, mayday. Civilian transport Diva-1 requesting assistance. We've been shot down by hostiles on the boarder of Mongolia. Can anyone assist us? I repeat, this is the Civilian Transport Diva-1.

[2] - Action

[Kyoku rubbed her head, ducking it a little in apology, the girl wrapped up in a blue and green winter jacket.] Sorry for barging in like this guys. I didn't think we'd meet again like this! And under similar circumstances.

So I heard those creeps who shot us down for passing by on our way to Corinth via Gucun are operating in this area or something?

Ah, don't worry about it - as long as you're safe, that's all that matters. Especially with what's been going on with us...

And that's what I've heard... so far, at least.

Well yeah, it's kind of hard to miss to be honest, even when I'm on the go all the time.

Huh, that's the second time I've just passed by and got shot at. I should teach those bozos a lesson.

Uh, let's not get hasty...! [Not get hasty? Coming from Gen?] Going out there by yourself's not a good thing!

People keep shooting me down! What the heck am I supposed to do? [Grumpy.]

... Does this happen every time you travel around?

Kinda. We seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time all the time. Even if we're just going from concert to concert.

I know what you mean. Trouble seems to spring up all over the place, and not just around the Chalice.

Yeah. God I hate this. We were on our way to Corinth and this happened. [Sigh] Seriously, I'm going to go nuts at this rate.

Sorry about that.

Normally we might try to lend you a shuttle so you could at least get there, but we're kinda gearing up for a big operation so we can't spare the resources.

I can't perform without the resources on the bus anyhow. So we just gotta get it fixed before we can take off again.

Huh, I don't suppose it's up against those weirdos who attacked me?

It is. They're wanted bandits from out in the Universe. We've had to butt heads with them some times before, but we're finally going to bring them to justice once and for all.

That's good. I want in. This is the second time bandits have shot me down and I want to beat up some heads.

Using them to make an example for others then?

Girl's gotta hit some things sometimes. [She gave Julia a grin at that.] Besides, Sonata hasn't had a workout recently.

[The car rumbled in agreement.]

... Please tell me you're going to do more than just bring a car to the fight though. I mean, if you know your way around a fight that's fine but...

[She looks over at that car.]

... I'm not sure how much help that "Sonata" would be.

Sonata and I fight together. Go ahead and stand up.

[Sonata rumbled and Kyoku chuckled.] It's okay, no one's around. Go ahead!

[And Sonata basically stood up, her parts moving before she towered over the pair at about 12 feet or so.]

[And Julia just watches that transformation.]

It's an Autobot?!?

An Autobot? No, I don't think so. Although we got some of the technology from Sumdac Systems a year ago to build Sonata. They wanted more protection for me, and what better than my own car?

She's aware, but she can't talk. We don't have the tech for a vocal device.

[After an offscreen rescue, presumably.]

Sorry about this, Miss Kyoku. You appeared straight in the middle of Pirateroid territory. It seems they're feeling confident enough to start raiding again... But not for long.

Hey that's no problem. But man, I want to give them one-for. Sonata and I are good to go if you need the help.

Are you sure you can take it? I don't know what we'll fight exactly, but I can guarantee it will be much harder than those grunts who attacked you.

I think I can manage it. This isn't enough to keep me down after all.

[Richard's not sure why he was sent out... but then, he was available, and had enough training to fly a damned shuttle.]

Diva-1, whats your status? Are hostiles still in the area?

[At least he might have a chance to see how he's improved with Ideigi...]

No hostiles, just a bit of wreckage. We need help getting everyone on board and the bus towed back to whatever ship you've got. We need help picking up everything, we kinda need as much as possible.

...Will a giant robot do? About fifty metres tall?

That'll do fine. Just be sure not to break anything on the way back.

Should be able to carry it, even if it might take some time.

[He's setting the shuttle on autopilot for now, to make life simpler on him.]

All right. Thanks. We've got a few crewmates at least but we should be in the process of getting the rest of the stuff here.

[So eventually the shuttle arrives... and assuming you don't wanna timeskip straight to [2], Richard emerges.]

Hey. [She's bundled up in a jacket and leggings.] Thanks for responding so quickly.

Was in the area, and available to help. If we can get as much as we can on the ship, it'll probably be more efficient in terms of transport.

Well that's good then. What ship are you affiliated with?

The White Chalice, though I'm technically a member of the Britannian Engineering Corps. Of course, they never provided me with this...

[He seems ready to scream something... before realising to back away several dozens metres, and THEN scream out.]

IDEIGI!

[Disappearing as a mecha forms from a pillar of light behind him, Richard is gone, and the mighty Ideigi appears.]

Pfffffh. Of course. I should have known. They're ALWAYS in the area. I've been rescued by the Chalice once before.

So you're the new guy huh? Nice robot.

N-New guy? Don't act as if... well, actually I suppose I kinda am...

[The robot isn't doing much whilst its pilot seems rather confused...]

So what happened last time when they helped you?

Well you're new to me. I was on the ship a few months ago, but I had to head to another concert.

[She shrugged, stooping down to pick up a piece of tech that had fallen.] I got shot down by bandits. This time, we got shot down by bandits. Just, no.

Same bandits maybe? Or is this a whole different area to where you were shot down before?

[Ideigi moves, making sure that too much debris isn't left behind.]

Though concert... you're a singer?

No, they were bandits up more north, near Russia. Totally different area.

Yeah, I'm a promotional singer. My Manager, and crew are in the bus right now. We tour around.

...Some people just have it nice, don't they?

[He grumbles slightly, doing slight tests to try and figure how best to eventually lift the damaged craft.]

It's a lot of hard work. Not everyone can sing for a living.

Not everyone would even have that kind of chance. How badly were you affected by Second Impact, might I ask?

I wasn't, not directly. [What a vague answer.]

My home city was wrecked when I was basically a baby. Grew up in ruins for a home... most places have glimmered by comparison.

My condolences. [She reaches down to pick up a couple of broken pieces.]

[Ideigi begins to gather up any large debris first, not sure what will or won't be needed in eventual repairs.]

I... thanks. Sorry, shouldn't have brought it up - I'm here to help, not whine.

It's fine. We all have our problems.

Suppose...

[Ideigi keeps working anyway, till its hand shift beneath the ship.]

I'm going to lift this now. You getting on, or got something else?

Yeah I'm getting on. Thanks again.
